Which of the following statements is correct regarding carbonyl group?
A
Bond between carbon and oxygen is non-polar.
B
The three groups attached to the carbonyl carbon lies in the same plane.
C
The carbonyl carbon is 
-hybridised.
-hybridised.
D
It is non-planar.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In the carbonyl group, carbon atom is in a state of 
-hybridisation one 
-hybrid orbital overlap with an unhybridised 
-orbital of oxygen to form 
-bond. The remaining two 
-orbitals of carbon form 
-bonds with two alkyl groups. Here, all the groups lie on the same plane. Also, there is difference in electronegativity of oxygen and carbon so bond is polar. Hence, is the correct statement.
